Dear Mom,
Is it hot in here, or is it just me?
You always tell me I’m a bakery- full of rolls. And you tell me to cook you some smiles. But I’ll tell you something: it’s too darn hot to bake or cook!
Instead, let’s try these fun things: community pool, walks in the park, chillin’ in my tent, Babies and Books, Baby Pictures , Story Time, mommy group with RI New Moms, or, my favorite, snuggling in the AC in the bedroom.
Til then, Mommy, I might not be cooking as many smiles, but I’ll always have a bakery full of rolls. It’s definitely hot in here… and I don’t think it’s just me, I think it’s us!
Love,
Adelaide

On a side note…
Achondroplasic children have lots and lots of rolls and tend to run at a hotter temperature. Rolls and sweat and humidity, OH MY! Addie and I have been doing some good things outside of the house to stay cool, but darn, it’s hard when she breaks a sweat going from the house to the car.
We have been using powder in her pits and wearing minimal outfits when we venture out and it’s working great for us. We also LOVE to go grocery shopping each day for two or three things we need for dinner. While there we walk up and down each aisle to enjoy the free air conditioning and learn about veggies, sauces, baking, spices and sauces! Learning and keeping my kitchen (baby) cool is always a plus.
And so, in response:
Dear Addie,
I love you so much, and you are the best chef and baker I’ve ever met.
Your rolls are so delicious and your smiles so tasty.
Please stay in the kitchen just a bit longer, so Mommy and Daddy can enjoy all your yummy treats.
Love,
Mamamamamamamama
I LOVE this post! Super sweet! Avery is a sweaty girl as well, and being hot makes her a cranky pants. (i think she gets that from her heat hating mama….) We should all hang out in the AC together!
Oh the rolls! They are so delicious, aren’t they? People always joyfully exclaim about Sabela’s legs when they see/meet her, and they just have to reach out and give them a squeeze. If any of her crevices do end up getting red-rashy from too much sweat, I’ve found (and the Dr. confirmed this was ok) a smidgen of Burts Bees diaper cream in the crease clears it right up.
